What else can I help you with?
What layer of an artery consists mostly of smooth muscle?
Arterial walls are more muscular than the walls of veins. This muscle is smooth involuntary muscle.
What type of muscle fibers are there?
You have three types of muscle fibers. 1) Skeletal muscle fibers. 2) Cardiac muscle fibers. 3) Smooth muscle fibers.

Smooth muscle fibers are the shortest of all muscle cell types?
No. Cardiac muscle fibers.
True or false smooth muscle fibers are located in small skeletal muscles?
smooth muscle fibers are located in small skeletal muscle
Do Skeletal muscle fibers tend to be shorter than smooth muscle fibers?
False
How is the structure of arterioles different from that of arteries?
The wall of the arterioles contain less elastic fibers but more smooth muscle cells than that of the aorta and arteries.
Is the smooth muscle elastic?
Smooth muscle is not as elastic as skeletal muscle, but it does possess some degree of elasticity. This allows smooth muscle to stretch and contract in response to various stimuli, maintaining organ function and blood flow regulation.
Do skeletal muscle fibers contain sarcomeres whereas smooth muscle fibers do not?
Yes, skeletal muscle fibers contain sarcomeres, which are the repeating units responsible for muscle contractions. In contrast, smooth muscle fibers do not have sarcomeres in the same organized structure but still have contractile proteins.
Is skeletal muscle made of muscle fibers?
Basically, yes. All muscle (skeletal, cardiac and smooth) are made of muscle fibers.
What layer of an artery consists mostly of smooth muscles?
the tunica media is made of smooth muscles and elastic fibers.
